    Desjadins Analyst: BCE Maintains Guidance; Reiterates 'Hold' Rating [view article]
    The Emperor has no clothes. BCE is a dog and these out of touch analysts like Dejardin's Joseph Mac Kay don't know what they are talking about. Bell has mistreated Canadians to such a degree that the common mantra is "I hate Bell." It will take many years to overcome this hate of Bell image and gain the trust of Canadians if this is even possible.
    I became active in trying to stop this purchase for two reasons. Firstly my wife is a retired teacher on pension. She instinctively feels, that knowing Bell, this is a bad deal with too much debt that may jeprodize her pension plan. Secondly the treatment we recived from Kevin Krull, president of residental services, concerning a disputed long distance bill, alerted us to the inept management of this team. For example, increasing the text message rate at a sensitive time when Canadians were becoming doubtful about this deal was not the best move. It almost seemed that Bell management was showing Jim Leech of the Teachers Pension Fund who would be in control.
    My case was as follows. We made phone calls from the US with our Bell calling card. We paid monthly for Bell's "24/7 First Rate Service' which guaranteed ten cents per minute for calls within Canada and twenty cents for calls to the US and thirty cents using the card away from home. We received a bill for one thousand dollars. We expected two hundred dollars at the most. We were not warned with notices on our monthly statement etc that Bell cards are no good in the US. The calls go through rogue US carriers at extreme rates.
    Bell blamed us. We paid six hundred dollars We refuse to pay the balance. For four hundred dollars Bell brought all this on themselves. I found out they have a whole department to handle this problem. I was not alone as they led me to believe. I have heard of many such cases as I warn other seniors of this problem. Wait until teachers visiting the US receive large bills.
    While sitting around a camp fire with seniors last week I heard of Don's plight. He kept having monthly funds deducted from his bank for a satellite service he does not have. He had to change his bank account to escape Bell's satelite service. Some other seniors had long distance billing horror stories similarto mine.
    Investigate for yourselves and decide. Remember we have not heard from the owners of the Teachers Pension Fund--the retired teachers and the current working teachers now contributing. they may want to pay the cancellation loss fee and pass on this deal.     Reply

    Telus, BCE and Rogers: Cellular Network Upgrades Increase Costs [view article]
    Mr. Fan should learn the technology before laying judgment. I don't know what the coverage is like east of Alberta, but the saying for BC and Alberta is Rogers don't leave town with it. TELUS/Bell coverage is far superior.

    Another thing is EVDO not known as a 3G technology? It's been out for quite some time.

    Come on Mr Fan get your facts straight before advertising for Rogers.     Reply

    After the pullback, would MT, X, RS, BNI have volatility to the upside before another pullback?     Reply

    General Discussion on BCE
    Do you think our BCE gain will be taxable for 2008? Will we get the money for 2008. If so I need to swap my crummy RY for another bank for the loss. Reply

    I'm sure Mr. Gorski is assuming us readers would apply a certain amount of common sense to these suggestions, and not necessarily follow them literally. Quibble if it makes you feel better, but the fact remains that this article touches on many company/stock events that do effect a stock's price and oftentimes the response the writer is suggesting will make you money. Most articles like this assume that a serious investor will always do her or his homework. Personally, I don't need this stated to me in every investment article I read. Do you? Reply

    Well put Bowman 711, well put. You are an individual of great intellectual reserves. The beauty behind the whole process, Gorski is free to write, and all are free to critique. Could you think of any other country you would want to live? Let the stocks market rise and all we will all be happy, unless you are selling short. Reply

    The General Motors case study must be a centerpiece at HBS. A fundamental question, what should be the fundamental skill set for management of a company like this - marketing (drive market share), finance (figure out a way to keep afloat), engineering (design cars for the future), or manufacturing (produce consistent quality at reasonable costs.) The Japanese win because their management understands - no, subconsciously embraces - the latter two. As do some of the Germans. Not Detroit. Reply

    Re POT: Fast Money held a CEO conference update on the AG sector stocks. The CEO's they interviewed all stated that the fertilizer growth scenario will continue for the near term foreseeable future (the next year at least). They saw no definite end to this growth cycle for AG companies. A lot of people will have seen this video by now. POT should move upward today (and possibly for several days) barring a market meltdown. Reply

    the proper headline for this article was ' 20 guidelines for the individual trader'. almost none of these 'rules' has anything to do with investing but all the more with short-term price movements.
